Lies about when they stop serving breakfast. Says 11 AM, but wouldn’t let me order at 10:53 AM. What’s the point in having a time cutoff if you’re not going to honor it?

The place is a disaster with napkins and trash strewn all over the floor and unclean tables. Their prices are sky high for a bowl of soup and drink (the tea tasted old) and the help doesn’t know up from down about what’s on their menu. They couldn’t answer a simple question about what’s in their chicken noodle soup (other than chicken) and acted like they couldn’t be bothered (because they didn’t know). They are very disorganized and their wait is super long. Panera has gone down hill. Unless you have no other options and are starving, this would be one of the last places to choose.

Terrible place! I would give it a zero if the alternative were provided. The tables were all dirty, we had to clean it ourselves. The employees were RUDE and refused to give us a plate to use (after we bought a $50 gift cards) claiming they don’t have plates left. That clearly was a lie because we saw two piles of clean plates on the counter inside. The manager was incompetent and clearly didn’t want to keep customers. Extremely disappointed in the Panera At Southpoint Mall in Durham, NC! The worst of all the Panera restaurants I have been in.

The whole place was very dirty. All trash bins were overflowing. Tables were dirty. Washrooms filthy with no TP or paper towels. Ordered an adult meal for dine in and received a child’s meal to go. So disappointing in the entire experience. Won’t be back.
